2024 has already gone down as an eventful year on account of the US elections, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East and the increasing pressure on the climate and nature. On top of that, there are also concerns about artificial intelligence, the flagging Chinese economy and access to the rare minerals necessary for a fast energy transition – and the list goes on.
So how do you equip your treasury team to deal with continuing high inflation, geopolitical trade restrictions and compliance with ESG regulations while preparing for the macro-economic tipping points that could redefine the stage of the world economy?
In this annual Treasury Valley event, we will zoom in and out with the help of expert speakers, followed by a series of masterclasses providing insights and best practices.
This year’s edition will take place on Thursday 23 May 2024 at the Green Village in Nieuwegein (NL) from 12:30 to 17:00, followed by networking drinks.
